egroupware provoke segfaults

[Stephane Mutz]

Binary package hint: egroupware

Package: egroupware 1.8.001.20100929
Release: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server

When accessing Egroupware InfoLog module, I get a blank page. Apache2 logs
indicate a segfault. This happens with APC disabled too.

According to Stylite support (Egroupware developpers), it is caused by a bug in
current PHP packages of Ubuntu 10.04 release (PHP5.3.2). They advised to
go back to 5.2.10 or 5.3.3 but neither packages are available for Lucid.

I tried to rollback Karmic packages but couldn4t complete the process due
to Egroupware 1.8.001 dependencies.

Stylite's bug report referred to above is here:

This happens in many of the modules, especially in the address book if you have lots of contacts. This make egroupware barely usable on Ubuntu 10.04.

Maybe a backport of php-5.3.3 could help.
Can someone provide it?

Uninstalling php-apc has made a dramatic difference for me. I haven't exercised it for long enough to say whether it is a complete cure. Nevertheless, a proper solution is desirable.
